Genesis 49:8. Judah, -

Now the patriarch changes his tone, for he has come to that tribe which would take the birthright, out of which the Christ would come: "Judah" -

Genesis 49:8. Thou art he whom thy brethren shall praise:

They praised God for him, they praised God by him, they praised God in him; he is the type of Jesus, of whom we can say all this with great emphasis.

Genesis 49:8. Thy hand shall be in the neck of thine enemies; thy father’s children shall bow down before thee.

In the person of David, in the long line of kings of the tribe of Judah, all this came true; and in the person of the great Son of David, the Lord Jesus Christ, all this has come true to a very high degree.
